Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy

Rooted in a constructional approach, therapy sessions focus on building new skills and expanding meaningful behaviors that empower children to thrive.

Receive culturally competent coaching and on-going support tailored specifically to your child's needs. Therapy sessions focus on increasing parent-child interaction and relationship building while targeting the development of psychomotor skills in developmentally delayed children.

Behavior Analytic Parenting Support

Specialized Instruction

As a licensed education specialist, and experienced precision teacher, I am able to develop an academic intervention to meet your child where they are using research based teaching methodologies in a 1:1 setting.

Educational Advocacy

I can inform you of your child's rights regarding a free and appropriate education, review your child’s IEP or 504 plans, advise you on appropriate services and supports for your child, and attend IEP and 504 meetings with you as a knowledgable partner to facilitate solutions.

Whats different about your ABA practice?

Many families experience long waitlists or frequent staff changes in traditional services. My practice is designed to provide consistent support by working directly with families and maintaining continuity of care.

I offer both in-home and telehealth services depending on your location and your family’s needs. Families in my local area receive direct therapy from me personally. I do not use technicians, which means the person you meet with is the same professional who designs and delivers your child’s therapy.

For families outside my immediate area, I provide telehealth services using a parent-supported model. In this approach, I work closely with caregivers to teach and coach them on how to use effective strategies during everyday routines at home. Many families find this approach empowering because it builds confidence and skills that can be used throughout the day, not just during therapy sessions. When possible, I also schedule periodic in-person visits to support progress.

During your first visit, we will spend time getting to know your child, discussing your goals and concerns, and identifying the skills that will make the biggest difference for your family. From there, we will develop a clear and practical plan to support your child’s growth.

Educational & Consulting Services

In addition to insurance-based ABA services, we also offer educational and consulting services on a sliding scale based on income to ensure accessibility for families. I am happy to assist you in exploring available funding options.
